Granny_Panties:Princess Ryans Knickers: SkinnyHead: tenpoundsofcheese: Let's see. I wonder if anything else happened in 2007, like the Dems getting control of the House and all that yummy overspending.

And wasn't Obama part of the Democrat controlled senate at the time? Didn't he vote for Democrat budget resolutions in 2007 and 2008, even though republicans warned them they would damage the economy? That's the way I remember it.

So you are saying that Bush was totally incompetent and a weak leader unable to stop himself from being forced, forced I tell ya, to sign a bill from Congress?

The Democrats didn't really even have a majority if you take out the Independents. Bush could have blocked anything he wanted to. Weak leader is weak.

2007 Senate:

49 D49 R2 I

nice try libs but the Demorats not only were pulling the puppet strings on W after they took away Dick Cheney's magic shotgun, they also had the rare ULTRA majority in Congress, meaning that no matter what happened it is the next Democrat president's fault unless it was good then it was all GOPWesley Snipes says always bet on black, well America did and they lost, next time bet red stupid libs.

muck4doo:DamnYankees: Here's what I don't understand about all these "ZOMG HORRIBLE RECOVERY" things. Do people just not notice or care that this was a worldwide economic catastrophe, and the US has pretty much been the most successful in recovering? And that pretty much every other country has been MORE austere than us? Is there no lesson here?

You know who led his country through a good recovery during a depression?

NewportBarGuy:Does anyone want to explain to this douche that it usually takes a full fiscal year before any tinkering actually shows up in indicators? That would chop off two years of his 5 year time frame and force him to explain the wonders caused under Bush the Lesser.

Hell, Obama wasn't even President for the first f*cking year of that 5 years. What an asshole.

Today is my full day off. Last Sunday I wasted it watching 34 minutes of stupidity at the Superdome. I do know that the p-rades were moved up in rotation, but I'm sitting right here, about to eat a 3,000 calorie NOLA lunch. Screw the parades today.

I'm still trying to figure out how I can juggle my schedule for my annual quest to get a Zulu coconut.. I've had one, but it was given to me by some chick and not the actual Krewe, rendering it kind of "meh."

If I fail to succeed, I can still look fondly upon having been knocked down by a full cabbage to the head, during St. Pat's. You know, cabbages really don't seem dangerous until some guy with an arm Drew Breeses it to your face.

Upon further investigation of this thread, it appears that at least - but not limited to - 3 of Fark's most notorious assholes are here. Do I go about my day, or do I try unsuccessfully to demonstrate how how they talk funny and their sh*t's all retarded?

Heraclitus:Well that escalated quickly!Couldnt get through the first paragraph of the article...Sounds like another attempt by Republicans at rebranding,You know, 911 was about Benghazi and all Obamas fault.Its Obamacare not the ACA.Its Obamas sequestration deadline.They REALLY dont want people to remember that Clinton left Bush with a surplus for the economy.

NewportBarGuy:Hell, Obama wasn't even President for the first f*cking year of that 5 years. What an asshole.

The market crashed because of the possibility that he might become President someday.

You see, the only way that people get rich is by being super-smart independent-thinker entrepreneur mavericks who work harder than you can possibly imagine and are better than you at everything. Those are the type of people who could predict what a disaster Obama would be for the country, and they planned accordingly.

I've been trying to get my beard to look like his, but it's not blending at the sideburn area. At the risk of a total threadjack, do you guys have any beard advice? Because right now I'm perilously close to looking like a complete ass.

NewportBarGuy:I mean you are calling me a Nazi, right? Don't beat around the bush, son. Use your words.

Yea, but you're more this kind of Nazi, if you ask me.

In the meantime, Obama is in his second term now, Democrats hold a majority in the Senate, I think it's about time that they took some responsibility for the shiatty state of the Economy. Despite their promises it hasn't gotten better, and Pelosi stating that ending Subsidies on Oil isn't going to effect the "little people" is just crap.

Authors like this prey on ignorance. The miracle of "Reaganomics" was really just Paul Volcker's Fed cutting interest rates from about 20% in 1981 down to like 5% by 82-83. Unemployment came down, inflation was beaten, and the economy grew. Reagan could have done nothing except jack off in the Rose Garden for 4 years and the same thing would have happened.

Oh, and if you couldn't beat a sitting President who presided over the worst 5 years since the Great Depression, what does it say about you and the ideas you hold dear? They must be pretty weak, tired and played-out, actuallyl

It's always good to see these articles every now and then, to remind us how farking clueless the right is when it comes to basic economic policy. Everything this guy said was wrong. It is truly a masterpiece of failure.
